There were certain meetings I wouldn't pick up chips from.
it can be very nerve racking. I get shaky and sweaty and basically have a panic attack. It wasnt Worth it, newcomers see other people pick up chips - I didn't have to put myself through that so they could see people with time get chips. It says right on the chip to thine own self be true. My higher power doesn't want me to add to my already horrible anxiety like that.
Are there smaller meetings you can get chips at?
